The post Art in Bloom 2021 first appeared on Floribunda Designs.]]> This past weekend was the 2nd Art in Bloom exhibit at Munson Williams Proctor Art Institute in Utica, NY. This event pairs professional florists with artwork from the museum’s permanent collection and asks that we interpret that piece of art into a floral arrangement. My painting this year was Number 10 by Bradley Walker Tomlin; the palette and abstract design has always suggested to me the way sunlight and sky can be visible through the dark branches of a tree. This inspired me to create my own little forest, using yarn-wrapped midollino sticks as the trees. I used moss and fern as the forest floor, and the flowers represented the color of the sun and sky. Happily, this arrangement won Best Creative Design from both the judges and the museum’s guests!

As an event florist, I should be starting my busy season but instead, I am looking at a calendar of empty squares. Weddings are postponed at least through the end of June, and there is uncertainty about the rest of the summer. I miss my work; I miss my clients; I miss my flowers. I’m idling at a time I should be going full throttle, and it’s more than a little frustrating. But it’s what’s necessary right now, and we’ll come out of this with a greater appreciation for each other and all the “normal” things we take for granted.

Hang in there. Spring, and better days, are coming.
